Leicester City have made an encouraging start under new manager Claude Puel – but no one could have predicted tomorrow’s opponents Burnley would currently be higher up in the Premier League table.

Sean Dyche’s men arrive at the King Power Stadium just three points off the Champions League spots in sixth and on a run of four wins in their last five league matches, including a 2-1 victory at Bournemouth in midweek.

And it is their form on the road that will cause particular concern for Puel.

The Clarets have won four Premier League matches on their travels this season – including victories at Chelsea, Everton and Southampton – and snatched two draws for a total of 14 points so far.

Leicester manager Claude Puel continues to impress, and the Foxes’ win over Tottenham means he has now taken eight points from his first five games in charge.

The Clarets just keep rolling on, though. They are a team with a lot of talent and, at the very least, they give you everything – which is so important because it means they can play poorly, and still nick a result.
